01 — Heart of city
## Paris is the campus setting.
Paris is a capital city, but its inner city — Paris intra-muros — remains surprisingly human in scale. The largest distances inside the city are under 15 km, and around 2.1 million people live within a dense, walkable and extremely well-connected urban fabric.
That matters for students. From DSTI’s heart-of-city campus, neighbourhood life, public transport, food, culture, libraries and public spaces are close enough to become weekly habits and easy outings.

02 — Campus neighbourhood
## The week can begin around Rue Mouffetard.
The immediate Paris experience starts locally: food, cafés, markets, squares and a neighbourhood that feels lived in. It helps international students picture daily life, routine and belonging from the first week.
